HUNGARIAN builders who drank their way to the bottom of a huge barrel
of rum while renovating a house got a nasty surprise when a pickled
corpse tumbled out of the empty barrel, a police magazine website
reported.
According to online magazine www.zsaru.hu, workers in Szeged in the
south of Hungary tried to move the barrel after they had drained it,
only to find it was surprisingly heavy and were shocked when the body
of a naked man fell out.
The website said that the body of the man had been shipped back from
Jamaica 20 years ago by his wife in the barrel of rum in order to
avoid the cost and paperwork of an official return.
According to the website, workers said the rum in the 300-litre barrel
had a "special taste" so they even decanted a few bottles of the
liquor to take home.
The wife has since died and the man was buried in a proper grave.
With the guy all nicely pickled and all, Mooron would have eaten his
liver--raw.

20 years steeped in run could hardly be considered raw....
